Offer Description
Are you excited about pushing the boundaries of ultrasound imaging? Join our team to develop next-generation multi-aperture ultrasound technology combining distributed sensing, adaptive acquisition, image reconstruction, and AI-driven imaging for groundbreaking clinical applications.
Information
Ultrasound is one of the most widely used medical imaging modalities due to its safety, accessibility, and real-time capabilities. Yet important limitations remain, particularly in abdominal imaging, where restricted field-of-view, operator dependency, and incomplete anatomical coverage often require clinicians to rely on CT or MRI. Our recently funded VICI programme, "(R)evolution in Abdominal Ultrasound Imaging", aims to fundamentally transform ultrasound imaging through distributed multi-aperture sensing, advanced image formation, and functional imaging methods.
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will play a central role in this ambitious programme and act as a technological integrator across multiple research tracks. You will work closely with three PhD candidates focusing on different clinical applications, while leading developments in acquisition, probe localisation, adaptive imaging, and image reconstruction. Your research will focus on creating a new generation of ultrasound imaging systems that combine multiple distributed transducers into a coherent imaging platform. You will develop novel methods for multi-aperture ultrasound acquisition, ultrasound-based probe localisation, and (adaptive) imaging strategies and reconstruction.
The research combines ultrasound physics, signal processing, machine learning, computational imaging, and clinical translation. Beyond your individual research contributions, you will serve as a technical coach for the PhD researchers, helping to align developments across the different work packages and ensuring the successful integration of hardware, acquisition methods, and image reconstruction frameworks. You will collaborate closely with leading industrial partners, including Philips Healthcare
The position offers a unique opportunity to establish yourself as an international expert in advanced ultrasound imaging and to contribute to technologies that may fundamentally change diagnostic imaging workflows.
